president obama has nominated jacob jack lew to be his next treasury secretary. he's 57 years old. he's got the weirdest signature ever. which is soon going to appear on a dollar bill near you. lew has been the white house chief of staff. he's described as a budget wonk and a consummate washington insider. lew has done two stints as the head of the office of management and budget. you'll know that as the omb. under presidents obama and clinton. he was a key player during the 2011 debt ceiling talks that almost shut down the government. he'll have his work cut out for him. democrats and republicans on capitol hill are gearing up for another battle over extending the debt ceiling while the global embarrassment that serves as the economic policy debate in washington these days, i've got a hunch that timothy geithner won't mistaking part in another one of those showdowns. but why should the rest of the world care if jack lew or anyone else is running the u.s. treasury? joining me now, he's taken off his jacket. he's got his suspenders, richard quest. a little q&a. i'll do the same thin

but every year we look back and we say oh wow it's grown even more. i think there's going to be a lot of back and forth. it strikes me that that's obama's plan that he wants to get ahead of it, but the reality is neither party is going to do anything. that to me is the big scandal here. we're a constitutionally limited government yet it collects 2.5 trillion dollars a year. it strikes me that that's the scandal that not enough people are talking about, a limited government wouldn't need that much money. dagen: how do you think the debt ceiling fight does play out, however? again, if you have people who have nothing to lose, then they become very dangerous, if they're willing to put their necks on the line for this kind of fight, because there's this one and then the sequester and then the budget and then we roll on. >> i think we're going to see it play out the way we did the last time. a lot of drama. washington loves drama because then the attention goes to the politicians. that's what they like. we will see it. we're going to get close to the debt

four years ago when president obama can into office and issued the executive order that we all remember promising to close guantanamo, that was absolutely the right thing to do. since then, the prisoners at guantanamo have sadly been filled by the obama administration and the united states congress and the courts and the majority of the mainstream media and by the american people. that is sadly the truth. when you look at what that means -- what is it mean for the people in guantanamo? the most important fact that we need to be aware of on this day is that have of the prisoners in guantanamo have been cleared for release from that prison by a very sober and responsible group of government officials and lawyers and all the government departments and intelligence agencies in a report that was issued three years ago. as moe put it, these are not people who needed to be held because they pose a security risk or because they have ongoing intelligence on the united states and yet they have not been released. united states went to a very high level process of saying to these men that we don't
